Military / Surplus Rifles

[Big Mac 1911]

Does anyone have any recommendations for gun shops that carry a good amount or selection of old military rifles? I have been to Bradis and they have a really good selection at pretty good prices. I travel the state quite a bit, so I was wondering what else is out there.

Thanks

Nothing in the Evansville area that I know of, everything is hunting/sport

I remember when I was a kid....back in the 1960's
where i could open up my copy of American Rifleman
or any other shooter magazine and find military surplus
rifles for less than $100....M1 Carbines for $40 bucks......
boy those days have sure gone away haven't they?

Now to be fair, that 100 dollars in 1960 is worth about 850 today.. So there is some parallels in values and worth today..

But I do miss the anticipation of waiting for the new issue of Guns and Ammo or Shotgun news to hit the stands and see what they are selling..
Now you get an e-mail ha ha ha ha ... That may be progress but not as romantic...

Highland Firearms in Wakarusa, IN. Small shop, but pretty much nothing but wood and steel military.

Hey nothing against Highland Firearms.. Nice little shop...

But NOOOOOO One holds a candle to Falls City Firearms in Clarksville...

The only place I know that hires a full time entertainment director.. plus puts on live stage productions of "Earth Abides" & "Trailer Park Boys"

Then to never stop reaching for the stars, drops a dime to some old friend of his and has the Blue Angles put on a special flight demonstration over his shop

for the entertainment of his prestigious (and even the lackeys) clientele ????

Oh the guns, nothing but wood and steel.. I have seen him throw plastic guns out onto the street, sometimes with their owners...

Alright!! A pup at Falls City Firearms. Gonna have to bring the daughter down now so she can shower the little guy with typical teenage affections.

I think you should call him Bullseye after that critter in the greatest kids show of the 1950s "Woody's Roundup.."

Looks likes he's a smart one...
